If your legs are cold within a few seconds, and a strong temptation to jump in a hot bath takes hold, then it's on with the tights! Offering both warmth and protection from the elements (this varies between models), a good bib tight will allow you to ride in poor conditions, but without worrying too much about the cold. Most cyclists agree that having a chamois inside the bib tights is best. You can buy them without, but it is much more rewarding in the long run to spend a little more and go for a padded version. Not just for the colder seasons, rainy, misty days can always surprise you, so they won't be in the wardrobe long before you need them again.
